What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday #116

It’s the fifth week of the summer holidays and still not much crafting happening around here. I did find time yesterday to cut some shapes for a decorated chipboard swap I’m taking part in.

I did the actual embossing on a glass mat in the kitchen. I’ve had too many other mishaps in the past, when using the heat gun at my desk, warped cutting mats being the main casualties! I thought I had been so careful with the powder, but when I turned the hob light on, to cook the dinner, it revealed a very glittery worktop. Oops!

I’m off to Julia’s place to see what everyone else has been up to this week.

    When I worked in school, I always used to have glitter everywhere - in underwear for example. The blooming stuff got in every nook and cranny...itchy :D xx

    LOL! The first time that I embossed at home, I thought that I was being so clever putting cardboard on the floor and embossing...so that I could just vacuume up the extra bits...when I was done, I had melted carpet underneath! Thanks for sharing your WOYWW! Good luck with the swap! -Amanda

    Been there, done that with the craft mats and the glass mat sounds just the solution.

    May be you should go into kitchen design and stark a new crazy for blingy worktops.
    Loving all the cats!

    Happy Crafting!
